“Is Sex A Physical Act Or Spiritual Act, And Why Is It Against The Body?”

The question is usually linked to the fact
that the Bible considers sexual sins as the only sin against the body. Why? Our
study will be based on I Corinthians 6:18-20. Every normal person is excited
about sex and rightly so because sex is the easiest way two people can knit their spirits together. Surprisingly, sex seems anathema even in the bible and a taboo
discourse amongst contemporary cultures. The Bible talks about sex mostly in figurative
language despite it being part of our humanity. I know most of you know about
sex more than it knows itself, yet the dynamics and mechanics of sex have
eluded you too. So, why don’t we talk about it?

Sex is not a physical act; it is a
spiritual act. You must note why sexual sin is against the body. I want you to
pay close attention because I will not answer this question again. When we believe
in Christ, we become one spirit in body (I Cor 6:17). We demonstrate our union
in water baptism (Rom 6:4-6) and then proceed to acquire spiritual power in Holy
Ghost Baptism (Mt 3:11; Mk. 1:8; Lk. 3:16; Jn. 1:33; Acts 1:5, 2, 11:16; I Cor. 12:13).
Thus, we are married to God. When we commit sexual immorality, we have sinned. It
is like adultery; meanwhile, “thou shall not commit adultery (Ex 20:7).” It means that
we have broken the vow; whereas marriage brings oneness( Gen 2:24). At that moment,
we create two bodies. That is why you are asked to flee rather than resist (I
Cor 6:18; Col 3:5; 2 Tim 2:22; 1 Pet 2:11).
It is the only sin where you cannot stand to fight; you must only flee because
no mortal; no matter how disciplined and holy they have been, has ever fought
and won the sin of sex. To win the fight, you must not even fight it; you must
flee from it. The church fathers used a phrase “Alia vitia pugnando, sola
libido fugiendo vincitur” meaning that “all other sins could be conquered by
fighting, but sexual sin is by flight only.”

Now you understand that when sex takes
place, we entangle our spirits with the individual we are having sex. Do you remember
“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what partnership has
righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? (2
Cor 6:14)?” The energy from sex creates babies; an act limited to God only
because man was made for the sole purpose of worshiping God only (Eccl 12:13).
That energy was the energy of life that He breathed through the nostrils of man
and man became a living soul. Like a cocoon, sex envelopes our emotions, spirit
and soul; in short body, soul and spirit.Therefore, if a man is not married to woman or he does not intend to, he should not have sex with her.

That is why sex without commitment
rather than bring us fulfillment, it instead brings us depression because it
goes beyond commingling. Many people make the mistake of thinking that sex is
love; it is not. If sex was love, then Hollywood will be in a different
predicament, but if love was shoes, they will charter all sizes. Love is an
abstraction that is exemplified in mainly sex for legal lovers. Its energy converts
the concept of love from abstract to concrete. Here is how you convert that
love “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a
lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with
delight; be intoxicated always in her love (Prov 5:18-19).” If you liked my article, you can make a donation.

Until then, beware of sex; it is a
spiritual act.

“Bonyfish beware because the same net that caught the jawless fish, caught the cartilaginous fish” (Hamilton Ayuk).
Beware earthly paradise seekers because there is a serpent in every paradise"(Hamilton Ayuk).
"It is not how well you know a person; it is how well you treat them that they will live longer and happier with you." (Hamilton Ayuk)
Idle people write, idler people read, and idlest people read and whine that idle people are taking their time (Hamilton Ayuk).
